Deme Group NV: share buyback program completed

DEME Group NV has completed its share buyback program, a strategic move aimed at reducing share capital and adjusting the company's capital structure. The program, which began on April 16, 2025, has been executed in accordance with the regulations and the company's Capital Structure and Capital Allocation Policy.

During the period from August 25 to August 29, 2025, DEME Group NV acquired 33,750 shares under the program at an average price of DKK 32.21. Following these transactions, the company holds 1,926,759 shares, corresponding to 0.45% of its total share capital [2].

The purpose of the program was to reduce the company’s share capital and adjust the capital structure by distributing capital to shareholders. The program was carried out in accordance with Regulation No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse ("MAR"), and the Commission’s delegated regulation 2016/1052 [2].

The completion of the share buyback program comes at a time when DEME Group NV has reported strong financial performance. The company achieved record profitability in the first half of 2025, with a turnover growth of 10% and an EBITDA margin of almost 22%. The acquisition of Hafram, a Norwegian offshore wind contractor, has strengthened DEME Group NV's offshore wind footprint and expanded its turbine and foundation installation capabilities [3].

Despite the strong performance, DEME Group NV faces some challenges. The order book decreased to 7.5 billion from 7.6 billion last year, indicating potential challenges in maintaining order intake levels. The dredging and infrastructure segment experienced a small reduction in turnover and profitability due to lower fleet utilization and adverse results on a large marine infrastructure project [3].

The completion of the share buyback program signals DEME Group NV's commitment to shareholder value and strategic capital management. As the company continues to navigate market conditions and capitalize on opportunities in the offshore energy sector, investors should keep an eye on the company's future performance and potential impact on shareholder returns.
